I learned at a W3C authorization workshop this week
http://www.w3.org/2005/Security/usability-ws/program
that there's a SXIP/DIX BOF at the IETF next week.
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/06mar/agenda/dix.html
I'm pretty excited about DIX/SXIP and related web-like authorization
mechanisms,
but I don't think I can swing the trip to Dallas.
Section 7 of http://dixs.org/index.php/Draft-merrells-dix-01.txt
says "This document has no IANA Actions." but section 3.2.6. DIX URI
Namespace
introduces a new URI scheme.
Introducing a new URI scheme just for DIX is not a good use of scarce
community resources;
let's not do the DAV: thing again.
Instead of
dix:/homesite
just use something like
http://dixs.org/terms#homesite
There are some IANA considerations around dixs.org; IANA should
make sure that name is reserved for this purpose in perpetuity if this
spec is adopted. Or the DIX profile should use iana.org or ietf.org .
(There's a BCP that says to use urn:ietf , but I recommend against that;
I intend to renew the internet draft that argues for http/dns rather
than urn:ietf: .)
The draft charter also doesn't say that DIX is introducing a new URI
scheme.
http://dixs.org/index.php/DIX_Charter
Please add something to the charter about getting review for the dix:
scheme.
